Man this pisses me off you guy's are having an easy time with this. I've gone round and round with my service manager, took him the tsb # had him look it up. My vins included, then I get the No Cel, no fitx answer and I keep pressuring him. Then he says he contacted the Evo Tech line and now they want to run a fuel trim on the car which is happening in the AM.

My god why can't they just flash the damn thing. Sigh. I at one point pondered selling my STi for a MR when they come out, but with all this crap, screw that.

 

I had the reflash done about two weeks ago and since my car has had below normal idle fluctuations and stalled out completely both times. My dealer wants me to bring it in to look at it again? So, WTF. Did they tell me that the reflash was done and lie to me?

Curious to see if everyone else that has gotten the reflash has had any relapse of the idle/stalling issue? Or if my car is just f'd up. Thanks. BTW, I have recently replaced the headunit and all speakes and added two amps. Do you think the dealer is gonna complain that is the likely problem? Thanks

 

I've also noticed the same type of idle fluctuations post-flash. Didn't really seem to do anything at all...

 

I got u bro, call 714-372-6000 and ask for DIETRA pronounced DEETRA. Tell her STEVEN CLARKE from Ny referred you to call her. She'll call the dealer for you and tell them to stop being stupid. I was having a hard time as well and she helped me out. I called her myself to put in the good word for you but she didnt answer so I left her a voicemail. Tell her your upset with the car and the issues your having and that you WANT the TSB done and you dont want to get blown off.

i got 230 miles to a full tank after the flash whereas before i wasnt even hitting 190

 

I have no such sticker anywhere on my car, i have already had the reflash completed according to the dealership and now I am still having stalling problems/idle too.

 

Yea, If the dealer actually reflased my car, it is worthless in every way

 

Thanks man, I'll do that right now. I also called mitsu directly and filed a complain and recieved a "Service Request #" and they say they've opened a case and I will be contacted by tomorrow regardng the issue. I'll let you know what Dietra says. Thanks again

 

Put a call in and left a msg.

You know what's got me bothered now? Even if all this works, the call to mitsu, and if Dietra gets involved, and the dealer says ok we'll do it, do I really want to trust them to do it?

sigh, I hate being 3 hours from a major city.

 

Logon: I'd call them and tell them you don't think they actually flashed it because it shouldn't be stalling/rough idle after the reflash. If they deny it, ask them nicely at first where your TSB sticker that is REQUIRED by Mitsubishi USA is then proving that they infact flashed it. Or complain enough until they hook it up to the MEDIC again and you can see for yourself that it has the most current software update available.

Mitsubishi apparently mandates that this TSB sticker be placed in the car after the dealership has performed the work as a way to "head count" the number of flashes done from my understanding and that of my tech.

Meffiez28: Just go back into the service area and watch them do it. That's what I did, that way you know for sure that it is done and you also don't let them loose with your car out of your sight EVER. It should take maybe a full 10-15 minutes tops for them to hook the car up and the flash to load onto the ECU. Also make sure you get the copy of the TSB sticker they are required to give you and post up the number on it to verify that you got the flash that most of us got or a different reflash. Supposedly like I said before mine was the most up to date and I got it done last Thursday and my dealership had received that updated flash the day before to the existing stutter at high rpm flash. ~Trent

 

the only way a dealer will flash it is if its actually having the problem the TSB states. The dealers will not just flash your car just because there is TSB. If cannot produce freeze frame data the supports why its being flashed the Mitsu charges them back for the claim.

 

Can someone post a picture of their sticker? I got the reflash but my idle has been doing iffy things lately which makes me second think their work. The service dept has been hella shady.

 

That is absolutely un true. I walked right into my dealership and told them I was there for the reflash and knew there was a TSB, told them it stuttered a little bit at 5k + rpm and told them I wanted the mpg increase. NO bs, they said no problem and 5 minutes later I was watching the tech flash my Evo.

Romeo: I'll take a pic of mine when I get home tonight and post it up

 

i mean i cant see them ****ing it up. all they gotta do is download something and install it. The computer does most of the work. It goes like this:


-Pull car into bay
-Open driver door
-Get out of car
-Power Mutt tool on
-Connect cable from Mutt tool to OBD diagnostic part located on driver side
-click Here (download button)
-Wait
-go outside to customer and bust his ***** about warranty because he has Tinted windows
-Disconnect cable
-Test drive his car with your dirty hands
-rudely give the customer his keys with the implication that he is not welcome to come back to your service dept.
-Go home and hate life as a mitsu Tech
